The following are a few internet sites offer information about the Earth's interior and the discipline of solid earth geophysics which seeks to investigate the Earth's structure. Learn how geophysicists investigate the interior of the Earth with seismic, heat flow, geomagnetic, and gravity data.

The Views of the Solar System web site, maintained by Calvin Hamilton, offers information about the structure and composition of the interior of the Earth and the relationship between the Earth's structure and plate tectonics.

Information about geothermal energy and the origin of heat in the Earth's interior can be found this web page maintained by Christopher Gronbeck.

http://www.agu.org/
Web page for the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The AGU is a professional organization for geophysicists which promotes geophysical research.
